Sophia Stone is an adopted Trini, who is originally from Canada with Afghan roots. She'll share her inspiring journey building Caribbean Cure, a brand of teas that is now consumed across the region and the world.

She'll share how a smart pivot from an idea that wasn't initially working out led to creating her brand of teas, and how she uses every challenge or failure along the way as a learning opportunity.

Sophia will also share how she approached finding a complementary co-founder, and why it's immensely important to have a great team or coalition of supporters. 

If you've ever wrestled with fear of getting started or taking that risk, listen to what Sophia has learnt about why you should just jump in.
